I love asking the big questions and being OK with having very few answers and often being misunderstood.
Its rare these days that I question what is right and wrong as In an interconnected world some people probably spend their lives asking this and never doing anything. Instead my big questions tend to look a little bit like this when I am trying to make decisions……….
What do I want written on my grave stone?
What story do I want to be a part of?
Is what I am about to do the easy option?
Am I being honouring and loving to those around me?
Am I thinking long term or looking for immediate gratification?
It does become tricky when as I have found recently massive opportunities can come along that only maybe meet 30% of the good answers to those questions and then the rubber hits the road!
They are not black and white situations that are opposite to my beliefs but hang in the big grey abyss. If I took the work on I would be misunderstood and run the almost certain risk of making a good number of peoples life much worse.
If you take the Sex scene for a clear example…….
I almost certainly would be happy to support and take on a mobile project for a party shop that mainly sold helium balloons and poppers but also sold fluffy toy handcuffs or a few sex toys
At the other end of the spectrum I am actively involved with an Anti Slavery Charity who help bonded sex workers get free from their torture.
At some point along that line I change from being helpful to actually campaigning against.
Choosing at what point you are pro, which point you abstain and at what point you are actively against is a tricky one.
All I know is that the questions I have mentioned are vital, the answers may change from time to time but I am not worried about that, I am only worried if I or anyone else stops asking the important questions altogether.
